A couple of reasons would be to allow for more verbose updates on Facebook due to their longer character limit, as well as the ability to tag other people/organisation's Facebook pages (instead of their Twitter handles). There are slightly different audiences on the two platforms as well, though I don't know if this plays much of a role in the difference in messages.

Absolutely! Also, is it possible to pull the twitter feed onto the Facebook pages? That way FB users can see what we have trending on twitter:)
I'm not sure why we haven't done that before except we've always written separate ones.

I think that's great. Let's send one before it's not Thursday anymore :)
Do we want to mention Wikipedia, too? Facebook posts can obviously be longer if we like.

Hello,
My name is Halla and I'm the Communications intern in SF. I was thinking it would be cool to have throwback thursday posts trending/posted to our social media. Here's a post I think we could put up today:
#Imagine https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Imagine a #world https://twitter.com/search?q=%23world where the @wikimediafoundation https://twitter.com/wikimediafoundation existed in the #1980s https://twitter.com/search?q=%231980s #tbt https://twitter.com/search?q=%23tbt http://videos.digg.com/post/52023906546/what-wikipedia-would-have-looked-lik...
Highlighting Wikimedia's history is a fun way is a great way to get people engaged. There are a ton of trends on twitter/facebook that we could take advantage of.
Let me know what you think:)
Best,
Halla
